tuesday....lovely sunny tuesday...i've spent all morning sewing for the Clutter City Spring Soiree this Saturday...

when i'm sewing i love listening to Frank Skinner podcasts (and it's got to be Adam and Joe from BBC 6Music podcasts when decorating)...they just make me smile and i have a ritual of listening to each one twice because i usually miss small bits whilst sewing...so twice seems to cover the whole lot!!! don't ask..it just makes me happy...

then it all went pear shaped, i was going to have a full day of 'making' for the craft fair next saturday...the first thing that happened was i made a very wonky bag! it was measured and pinned but it ended up looking like pants...not literally...but just a bit rubbish...so i left bags aside and decided to whip up a crochet hook case type thing - now i have made these before, so i thought i would make one to get back on track...and this ended up a bit crap too...whats going on today????

so i packaged up some wrist warmer type things which i made lots of for the winter craft fair...now i know it's spring and it's all sunny...but i can't stop making these and maybe someone there will want to start their christmas shopping early...

maybe a little rest is needed...and who knows what tonight will bring and what wonders can be made while watching friday night television....

and at home i've been doing a spot of crocheting - i haven't made all these today...i'm not that good....but i have been putting these cushions together ready for the craft fair...

a while ago i mentioned Hama beads...we love them! our house is full of little Hama bead works of art - so many that i have decided to finish each post with one...my daughter made this when she was 3, and i just love that she did it nearly all green but chose to put 2 brown Hama beads on the girls dress...

About Me

i am a stay at home mum with 3 rather gorgeous children - Zak is 8 and twins Reuben and Tallulah are 5...we live in a very nice, not too big, not too small (and slightly wonky) victorian house in Norfolk...we have been 'doing up' the house for 8 years now...i love it, i really do, i like to change bits and bobs to suit my mood (frequently) and i don't ever think it will be a 'finished project'...but hey, when it comes to interiors, thats just not my style!
